F.A. CUP REPLAY.
OLD KINGSIONIANS v. REDHILL.
PLAY ABANDONED OWING TO FAILING LIGHT.
Following the draw of two goals each at Redhill, the above teams met in the re-play on the Norbiton Sports Ground on Saturday. The Redhill eleven did not arrive, however, until an hour and a-quarter after the advertised time for the kick-off, owing to delay on the journey caused by the breakdown of their motor conveyance. In consequence of the late start, the light was very poor when the second half had been entered upon, and play had eventually to be abandoned ten minutes before time. The score then was two goals to one in Redhill's favour. Mansey scored for the Old Kingstonians and Maxted and C. Wakeman for Redhill.

Redhill kicked off, and had a fine opportunity to score in the first minute, but the shot was tame, and rolled harmlessly past the post. The Lobsters were still dangerous, but Adams relieved with it big kick, and it was left to O.K.'s to open the score. A fine individual effect by Chalk tested the goalie, Rose, and before he could kick clear Mansey had the ball in the net. A free kick for a foul throw-in by Blanchard was taken by Mann, and he made a good effort to score, his shot just skimming the cross-bar.

Yet another free-kick to Redhill again was given by Blanchard. Mann led up to Redhill equalising, the ball going to the foot of Maxted, who made no mistake. Stuckey was playing finely at left-half, and was setting his left wing going at every opportunity. Wilson got away on the left, and centred for Chalk to obtain an off-side goal. Redhill at this period were playing more together than the O.K.'s, and C. Wakeman on the right, being unmarked, scored a second goal for Redhill.

After the interval, the O.K.'s attacked vigorously, but Mann and Webb were very safe at back, and easily dealt with the attack. The play in this half was decidedly poor, there being far too much aimless kicking. Redhill were certainly playing "keeps," as the ball was continually kicked into touch when it could easily have been cleared. Just before the game was stopped, J. Mann was ordered off the field for an alleged insult to the referee. It was now very difficult to follow the movements of the ball, the light being very bad, but the O.K.'s were playing desperately hard for an equalizer, and forced several corners, which were of no avail. The game was then abandoned by order of the referee, ten minutes from time.

Mann, was ordered off the field in the second half.

FOOTBALL.
ENGLISH CUP.
OLD KINGSTONIANS v. REDHILL.
Redhill were distinctly unfortunate on Saturday on the occasion of their re-played tie with Old Kingstonians at Norbiton in the qualifying stage of the English Cup competition. Redhill journeyed by road, and trouble in connection with the tyre of the motor 'bus by which the team travelled delayed their arrival, so that the match had to be abandoned some ten minutes before time owing to failing light. This was a great misfortune to the Reds, as they had put up a splendid fight, and were leading by two goals to one when hostilities were suspended.

Redhill, upon the ball being put in motion, demonstrated their capability and nearly scored in the first minute, but it was the O.K.'S who took the lead, Mansey scoring ten minutes from the start. Redhill soon equalized, Maxted heading in from a free kick, and Wakeman put them in front. At half-time they led 2-1.

The quality of the play deteriorated in the second half, and there was a quite unnecessary amount of vigour. To the surprise of the members of his side, Jack Mann was ordered off the field, some question having arisen as to the referee giving a home forward off-side, who appeared to have played the ball from his own half. Nothing was scored in the curtailed second half. Referee; Mr. J. Hird.
